Analysis on Hull Block Erection Process Considering Variability

Abstract

The hull block erection network process, which is performed during the master production planning stage of the shipyard, is frequently delayed because of limited resources, workspace, and block preparation ratio. In this study, a study to predict the delay with respect to the block erection schedule is conducted by considering the variability of the block preparation ratio based on the discrete event simulation algorithm. It is confirmed that the variation of the key event observance ratio is confirmed according to the variability caused by the block erection process, which has the minimum lead time in a limited resource environment, and the block preparation ratio. Furthermore, the optimal pitch value for the key event concordance is calculated based on simulation results.
